Chapter 21 Human and Animal Nature

Orc wasteland, an unknown desert mountain.

A small orc camp is located halfway upside down by the woods.

It is impossible to tell which orc clan the camp originally belonged to, because there is no one orc in the entire camp, and the magpie nest is occupying the human soldiers of the Seventh Squadron.

The silver-horned stag was surrounded by a beast cliff in the corner of the camp and leisurely grazed, and the soldiers practiced martial arts in the open space in front of the camp. Even if it was just a brief rest, Arthur did not relax the practice of every warrior.

Arthur held his shoulders and stared at the movements of every soldier. Now every punch or kicked leg could be a life-saving action when the battle took place in the next moment.

"Can you go out for a walk with me?" A pleasant voice rang behind me.

"Is there something wrong?" Arthur turned around, and Alia looked at herself with big watery eyes.

"I feel a little uncomfortable and want to go and have a casual look." Alia lowered her head, her face slightly red.

Although he had been fighting for days, Alia, as the priest of Light, was still spotless, but her face was a little pale.

Looking at the slightly haggard Alia, Arthur suddenly felt unbearable.

The days when I broke into the Orc Wasteland were really too hard. I slept in the wind all day, couldn’t take a bath for several consecutive days, and sometimes I couldn’t eat a bite of hot rice for a few days, and I couldn’t completely relax even when I stopped to rest or even sleep. This is the orc territory, and battles could break out at any time. Every soldier in the squadron must always be vigilant.

After all, she and the soldiers were men, covered in sweat and blood, and she fell asleep as if she fell to the ground. But Alia was a girl after all. She risked her life with the Seventh Squadron and went deep into the Orc Wasteland. This kind of suffering was not something that a girl could eat at all.

The urination problem that a man can solve when he turns around is a big problem for Alia, and the girl even rarely drinks water during the day.

From beginning to end, Alia never complained. Every soldier saw her smiling face. The healing light ball on the battlefield almost fell on him as soon as the soldiers were injured. It was because of Alia's existence in the team that the soldiers had the courage to fight with the orcs 100%, because they knew that as long as they were not hit by the orcs, Alia could save her life.

If Arthur is the spiritual leader of all the soldiers of the Seventh Squadron, Alia is the spiritual backing of the soldiers.

Arthur accompanied Alya silently along the mountain road. Alya lowered her head, and Arthur didn't say anything.

Arthur had almost no experience of being alone with girls. After holding it in for a long time, he said, "You have suffered recently."

Alia nodded and said no, and Arthur didn't know what to say later.

Alia suddenly stopped and looked at Arthur silently.

Arthur's face turned red by the sight, and his eyes dodged to look at the woods beside the road.

A burst of giggles suddenly came from the woods.

"who?"

"Captain, I, monkey, I'm checking the whistle, you two continue."

"Get away." Arthur cursed in annoyance, turned his head but was facing Alia's smiling gaze.

"You are so shy when you look at me, and so fierce when you look at those orcs. Which one is the real you?" Alia asked an inexplicable question.

Arthur thought seriously for a while before slowly saying something that seemed completely unrelated, "For tens of thousands of years, the human race has been arguing about a question, but has never had an answer, is that human nature is evil or human nature is good?"

Alia blinked her big eyes and waited for Arthur's answer.

"In my opinion, there is no distinction between good and evil in human nature. If humans want to survive, they must obtain resources from the outside world. This is the nature of life, and good and evil are not used to define nature. The human race and the orcs hatred each other because the two races are competing for survival resources. I am one of them. My mother died from the slaughter of orcs."

"What about the orcs? Is there any difference between good and evil in nature?" Alia immediately raised another question.

Arthur was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

"We have killed so many orcs these days. I have never understood. Have the orcs' women and children killed our people? Some poor orcs are more pitiful than the poor people of our human race. Have they also competed with us for the resources to survive?"

Arthur thought for a longer time this time, and after a long time he said: "Orc women will nurture orc warriors, and orc children will one day grow into orc warriors who invade our borders. We are eliminating future troubles for the human race."

"Can we really avoid future troubles? We have no way to kill all orcs in the war for tens of thousands of years. How many orcs are there invading the human borders in the orc wasteland? "

Alia's series of questions left Arthur speechless.

Arthur considered the root of the war and hatred between the two clans, but Arthur, who was entangled by hatred, never thought about how to solve this problem in the end. As Alia asked, can all orcs be eliminated?

Alia said slowly, "The reason why I feel uncomfortable in my heart is that the killings these days violate the teachings of God of Light for me. As a pastor of Light, I have been taught since I was a child to spread the glory of God of Light and let the grace of God of Light be passed on to all the weak lives on the continent."

Arthur's expression became extremely solemn, "I have never thought about the questions you mentioned. Can you make me think about it? I will answer you after I have thought about it."

"There is another last question you didn't answer?"

"Um?"

"Why are you so shy when you look at me?"

Arthur's face turned redder.

"After thinking about it, answer me together!" Alia ran away with a smile.

......

Almost the same scene was staged in a tribe hundreds of kilometers away.

"It will be even more difficult for you to expose yourself to Elliot so early." Xia La looked at Leon, who was practicing sword with a worry, with her shirtless upper body. Only in private would she show her soft and loving side in front of Leon.

Leon kept moving, but he slowly said: "You don't really understand our orcs, and orcs only respect the strongest! Elliot used tricks to steal the position of heir who belonged to my father. Many tribes' patriarchs and even the Golden Family have people who have always been dissatisfied. Although Elliot ascended the throne, he did not really win the recognition of the orcs. Why has my uncle never sent anyone to chase me? Because he is waiting for me to find him. Only by killing me in a head-on duel can he become the real lion king."

"Do your mother really want you to go on this difficult road of revenge?"

Leon stopped the sword in his hand and looked at Xia La and smiled, "Not only do you not understand orcs, but even my mother doesn't understand."

"Qiao Ya regards me as a friend, but I always think that I am just Qiao Ya's guard. How can the guard really understand the master?"

"Revenge and regain the position of Lion King of the Golden Family, that's just my grandfather's idea. Do you know why my mother put Arthur next to me back then?"

Shara shook her head gently.

"She hopes that I understand the human race, not only to learn to fight them, but also to understand their ideas. My mother not only hopes that his son will return to the throne one day, but also hopes that I will lead the entire beast race to regain our lost land and glory from the human race!"
